Sony's lossless streaming technology is called Pure Stream. The goal is simple: Streaming quality that matches what you'd get from a UHD Blu-ray disc. That means not only 4K resolution, but HDR metadata and immersive sound by DTS. Listen to playlists, podcasts and more on the go via Bluetooth or the integrated aux-in cable. Alternatively, use the aux-in cable as an antenna to enjoy digital radio from wherever – the garden, the beach, your home away from home – the possibilities are as endless as the choice of stations. Powerfully PortableThe Pure StreamR looks to bridge the company’s radio heritage with a modern form factor and the beginnings of voice control, to appeal to a wide audience across generations. Q. When listening to radio, StreamR experiences audio drop-outs and sometimes no audio at all. What should I do? With streaming bandwidth between 30Mbps and 80Mbps, it can use three to four times as much data as Netflix does – Netflix recommends 25 Mbps for 4K movie streaming. As a result, Sony recommends a minimum internet speed of 43Mbps, and speeds of 115Mbps or higher for true lossless streaming quality.

When Operator Purestream first joined Rhodes Island, many people did not understand the purpose of the things that she insisted upon. Because of this restriction, she makes sure to thoroughly enjoy each session. When she completely submerges herself into the water, the young girl is so happy that she sometimes can't help but to sing.There are a lot of Bluetooth speakers that settle for tinny audio, and the faithfully-recreated sound in the StreamR shows that doesn’t have to be the case. It’s not a quiet speaker either – unless you want it to be. It can really belt out sound for its compact size, and we were happily wandering our flat with the StreamR’s audio calling out to us from the other room. Ah... I actually have no idea what this is. It's supposed to be some kind of home cooking, but I can't tell what it actually is... But, it's pretty good, and I have some more if you want to try?' Any piece of media that gets the IMAX Enhanced badge – including all of the IMAX titles in the Bravia Core library – is remastered to meet a collection of standards for picture quality, aspect ratio, brightness, color and high-dynamic range. The voice control is hold-to-speak, meaning you need to press on the Pure logo (the ‘conch’ button) for Alexa to hear your command. Considering how straightforward the volume and source buttons are, and how you need to link up with your smartphone for music streaming anyway, needing to use a physical button defeats the point of a convenient, hands-free smart assistant.

Connecting an Astell&Kern AK120 to the unit via the AUX cable and listening to a CD rip of Andrew Gold’s Spence Manor Suite, I was most impressed by the higher quality source. Of course, you’re still dealing with a single, small speaker here yet the relatively low noise, detailed offering provided decent clarity and an enhanced bass performance. CONCLUSION It’s the smart capabilities, however, that caused us frustration. Alexa doesn’t quite feel at home, with hesitant hold-to-speak voice functionality that simply doesn’t add much value in a portable speaker. A. The speaker has a wireless range of up to 30 ft (approx. 9-10m). The range is likely to be affected if there are walls or objects between the controlling device and StreamR speaker. For best performance, ensure there is open space between the paired devices.It may also be an early move in a larger strategy to compete against the likes of Disney, Paramount and Warner Brothers, who have all found some measure of success with their own streaming platforms, like Disney Plus, Paramount Plus and HBO Max. As of now, Bravia Core is completely free, both for free unlimited streaming and an allotment of credit vouchers that can be redeemed for new release movies. You’ll appreciate a smaller, lighter device if you’re using your Bluetooth speaker on the go - also look out for a handle or strap. Bigger, heavier speakers will have a much more powerful sound and are better suited to home use. Speaker output A. Providing StreamR is paired to a mobile device over Bluetooth, you will be able to the use the speakerphone function on the speaker to answer calls.
